This is the first of two batches representing my collection of Chick Bullock tunes from 1931. Although I have 40 of his tunes from this year, there are still 70+ that I haven't yet managed to obtain. The Duke Ellington tracks here are the cd versions. I omitted Stardust as that can be found on the Mills Blue Rhythm Band post. A couple of tunes here are from some .wav files I obtained from another collector, which I only edited for start/stop points. The rest are my 78s. I tried to keep the filters to a minimum, however there are a couple where the records are not in good condition yet this is the only copy I have. Would you believe I keep getting outbid on How's Your Uncle? Someday I'll get a cleaner copy. I chose to include Green Eyes (see the Don Azpiazu post) because I think the 78 sounded pretty good.
Recording dates and personnel (as known) are included in the idtags for each tune*. The artists shown below are who is listed on the record label, though that was often different from who was credited for the session. The listing below is by order of recording date, from January 10 to August 4, 1931.
And once again, I am no sound engineer. Hopefully these sound good enough to listen to. Enjoy! +

Another good one! Thank you! Wanting to avoid doing something useful, I made a cd cover for this series- how could I send a copy to you?
Glad you liked it. I always recommend avoidance of the useful. It just tends to be so much work! Of course it never occured to me to use the 78 from the post title (that would have been too useful). How about posting a link to it here for others to use if they so desire?
And I'm going to really try to get a better photo or see about getting my fairly old scanner to work with my much newer computer.
Hi Mr. V- I don't know how to post a link, I don't have a blog which I imagine would be necessary. A close up of a record label would also make a fine cover!
If the cover you made is a jpg, you could upload it to Photobucket (free to use) and it creates a link for you. Then just cut & paste it here in the comments. A close up of a label would be great if I could take a decent photo. I'm about to travel so will check out the old scanner upon my return.
